5 Apps to Help Kids Learn Grammar & Punctuation

Nouns are naming words. Verbs are doing words. Adjectives are describing words. Boy, do I remember these grammatical rules being drummed into me at school. Punctuation and grammar are so important to effective written communication but to many children they don't feel exciting. If this is the case for your child, finding a good quality app that allows him to apply what he is learning in a fun, interactive environment might make all of the difference to his level of interest and engagement with those nouns and pronouns!

Grammaropolis is a super fun and very thorough app that includes comprehensive definitions, examples, songs, videos, stories, and games based on the eight parts of speech. The free app explores nouns, with other parts of speech available for purchase in-app.

The Punctuation app provides easy-to-understand descriptions and information about the correct usage of thirteen different punctuation marks, with interactive examples, and invitations to practice the application of each mark, as well as three games and three leveled quizzes.

Grammar Pop helps children learn identify the parts of speech in sentences. Starting simply with nouns and verbs, each level adds an additional part of speech to the challenge, including articles, adjectives, and pronouns.
